The data collected consists of purchase orders and receiving orders by comparing them before and during the COVID-19 pandemic and also other information related to the research theme. The research results obtained are that the suppliers ability to supply goods to PT Harapan Maju Indah is not affected during the COVID-19 pandemic. They can still fulfill the PO as usual, before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. The ability of the suppliers to send the goods to arrive at the port of destination is still good. Goods can still arrive in accordance with those in PO during the COVID-19 pandemic. The impact of the existence of the COVID-19 pandemic occurs in the delays of import documents sent by the supplier, which causes the goods to be kept longer at the port and the appearance of additional costs and the goods take a long time to arrive at the warehouse.
